However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instruction below:

the external surface/vents. 4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner,
or ISO. 5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue. 6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface. 7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
